The Third Annual OnlineAuction.com Secret Santa Event is underway! From now through the end of October, you can sign up to get in on the fun!
If you’ve never been a part of a Secret Santa Event, it works just like a secret gift exchange. Everyone sends a gift and everyone receives a gift! We’ve never had anyone not receive a gift! YAY!!!
Here is how it basically works: You sign up, fill out a few simple questions about yourself in a simple questionnaire that will be sent to you November 1, and return the information by November 8. Then you will receive another Secret Santa Omail which will contain the name of the person you will be playing Santa for! You have until December 1 to mail the gift for your special OLA member. We’ve put a cap on how much anyone can spend (no more than $20) and a minimum on what the gift must be worth (must be worth at least $10). Great OLA Shoppers know that they can get valuable gifts for less than $20 in just about every OLA House, so it won’t be hard to find your special member something very cool . You’ll have their questionnaire answers to guide you, so it’s easy to participate and know that the gift you send is something they’ll enjoy.
Know what I like best about the Event? You get to learn a little bit about your OLA colleagues and they get to learn a little bit about you! How cool is that???
For all the rules, dates, and information on this Annual Holiday Event, head over to the chat forums and look in the Special Sales Events & Weekly Games section, or use this direct link: http://www.onlineauction.com/chat/viewtopic.php?p=261853#261853 (remember to sign in when you get there).
Remember, you only have until the end of October to sign up, so sign up today!

Postage Will Not Go Up January 2, 2010
By NATASHA T. METZLER, Associated Press Writer Natasha T. Metzler, Associated Press Writer – 34 mins ago
WASHINGTON – The independent panel that oversees the U.S. Postal Service has denied the agency's request to increase the cost of mailing a letter by 2 cents - to 46 cents.
The Postal Regulatory Commission announced its decision rejecting the requested price hike at a news conference Thursday.
In July, the Postal Service proposed raising first-class postage from 44 cents to 46 cents as part of a strategy for dealing with a worsening financial crisis. The Postal Service lost $3.8 billion last year, and the agency has been seeking other rate increases as well, including higher fees for periodicals, post cards and parcels.
The new rates would have taken effect next Jan. 2.
Chairman Ruth Goldway told reporters at a news conference that the Postal Rate Commission's vote to deny the rate request was unanimous on the five-member commission.
She said that in her view, the requested rate adjustment was not due to recent recession, as indicated by Postal Service officials, but was, rather, an attempt to address longterm structural problems.
The decision was applauded by the Affordable Mail Alliance, a coalition of postal customers including consumer groups, small business, chairities, utilities, national retailers and banks.
"The PRC today has helped countless businesses stay competitive and saved tens of thousands of jobs," said Tony Conway, a spokesman for the alliance. "The commissioners recognized that imposing an additional tax on Postal Service customers is not the way to address its financial troubles. Our members look forward to working with the Postal Service on the long-term restructuring needed to restore the Postal Service to competitiveness."
